Nicholas Walters v Vasyl Lomachenko
Walters has quickly established himself as the best featherweight on the planet and many consider Lomachenko, a two-time Olympic gold medallist, a close second. Earlier in the year, this prospective clash looked set for the future provided both men kept winning, given they are both promoted by Top Rank. Walters however failed to make the 126lb weight limit in his last fight, a unanimous decision over Miguel Marriaga, throwing the probability of the clash into question. The Jamaican may be too big for a weight Lomachenko is still comfortable making.PROBABILITY ***
